Javea Grapevine Issue 182 2016 One | Page 65
LA CANTINA DE JAVEA: Situated
right in front of the fishing fleet
in Jávea’s port (ground floor right
around the back (left side) of the one
storey building by the fishing boats).
Very Spanish. Best Patatas Bravas in
Jávea ! They are often very busy so
you must go early (say 12:30h). Very
good prices. Their fish menus consist
of the catches of the day. They are
serving all day long (even after the
cinema). 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7/7.
Restaurante MENA Wonderful
position situate right on the rocks at
the end of the Las Rotas road (go over
Jávea / Montgó road to Denia and turn
hard right at bottom roundabout). It
was xenophobic, expensive and with
bad muzak….. but we hear it’s under
new management so certainly worth
a try…. or drive on a little further and
there's another good restaurant on the
right. 96 578.0943 / f. evenings http://

SUR (at GRANADELLA BEACH)
at the beautiful Granadella creek off
the Cabo de la Nao and the No.1 beach
of the Marina Alta; certainly the best
fish restaurant in Jávea (they own
their own boat and sometimes have an
extraordinary variety!). Our absolute
favourite for fish and a beautiful
location. Sensational puds! Highly
rated (7½/10) in Spain's Gastronomía
Guide. Best to book. 96 577.1612 /
July/Aug daily 10-23h / otherwise
open lunch only (closed mid-Dec end Feb). www.restaurantesur.com/
At CALPE's (fishing) HARBOUR
: The harbour at CALPE is a great
place (sic) for fish ! Any restaurant
will entice you in with marvellous
displays of fresh fish. There is
nothing like this anywhere else we
know of (except Dubai !). Strongly
recommended.
FISH ITEM (retail)! Outside the
Ermita supermarket (by the little
church on the Jávea to Jesús Pobre
road) at 10:00h on a Saturday
morning is to be found an enterprising
Dutchman (Arjen) who is selling
fresh martjes, smoked eel, roll-mops,
smoked mackerel, buckling (a herring
smoked whole – as opposed to kippers
which are smoked flat), smoked trout
and potted shrimps ……. There are
no further frozen HERRINGS for the
moment due to change of supplier
in Holland. Orders to : 667 997300
(every Sat. morning from 10:00h)
or [email protected] [and
inside this supermarket, at Xavi’s
excellent meat counter, can be found
the very best STILTON in the area ].
Arjen is in MORAIRA on Thursdays
10 - 14h at Tabaira – Palco.
INCODNITO < Fish 'n' Chips >
: Jávea, Arenal beach, on main
car park. It is not usual for such
an establishment to find its way onto
this list but it has proved to be very
reliable with both fresh fish and chips
of excellent quality. 96 577.0068 / f.
Sunday.
